Walking Distance

Morbidly obese Fede spends time secluded in his flat with food, TV, and beads to make jewellery. Every venture to the outside world is terrifying, yet it all starts to change when he rediscovers his passion for photography and buys a second-hand camera. With his new camera, the boundaries of being a prisoner of his own body and his overbearingly protective sister loosen, and the possibilities of new horizons appear – thanks to unexpected allies, a teenager obsessed with comics, and his own brother-in-law. A tenderly melancholic as well as humorous and inspiring story of friendship, freedom, and new beginnings in powerful images filled with profound humanity. (Febiofest)
